What a foolish old man!
The water pact formed part of the separation agreement between Malaysia and Singapore. It was one of the conditions to secure the separation from Singapore because Malaysia was very keen to be separated from Singapore. This was the reason for Singapore to lodge the water pact and the separation agreement with the UN and LKY couldn't trust the Malaysian government. Therefore, the water pact was not an ordinary commercial agreement that anyone could review or alter unless someone wanted to void the separation agreement.
If Mahathir thought that he could review the water pact, then UK could also use the Mahathir's logic to review the independence agreement that was given to Malaysia. UK could claim that it was a mistake to let Malaysia gain independence and Malaysia was still supposedly a British colony.
Maybe Mahathir wanted to become a British again!
